According to Shayne Pickering of On3, who wrote on X in March:
"Baylor (TN) quarterback Marshall Manning has shown good velocity and anticipation the entire day today,” he wrote. “He has taken another step forward into his development and will be an exciting young QB for Baylor to build around.”
Marshall has already put the heavy hitters on high alert, with the likes of Georgia, Ohio State, and Tennessee keeping a close eye on his trajectory, according to Sports Illustrated.
He proved he can hang with the big boys after delivering pinpoint passes to professional receivers at the NFL Pro Bowl in 2023 in Las Vegas, when Marshall was only 11 years old. One of his 30-yard throws for a one-handed catch by Vikings star Justin Jefferson was especially noticeable and caught the eye of the NFL.
In another clip, Marshall tossed a dime to Marcus Pollard with Ray Lewis in coverage.
Peyton, however, emphasizes that reputation is the utmost priority:
“Dad says it can take twenty years to make a reputation, and five minutes to ruin it,” said two-time Super Bowl champion Peyton.
